You can get competent at nearly anything in 20 hours.

The problem is most people spend a decade delaying the first 20 hours.

More potential is wasted through inaction than incompetence.

I saw a TED talk years ago where a guy talked

about how he learned how to play the guitar in 20 hours.

And that TED talk changed my life, not because I learned to play the guitar, but all of a sudden,

complex tasks or seemingly complex tasks felt much,

much more attainable i was like okay i might not be the best website developer in the world

but in 20 hours i can have a website and

that 20 hour mantra for me has just been like two

days two full days two 10 hour days fully focused you can pretty much go from zero to not hero

but zero to competent um and

when you string hundreds of those 20 hour days together i

think you become incredibly dangerous we were talking earlier about range

the book i think being cross departmental being cross um what's the multidisciplinary thank you disciplinary multidisciplinary is is

it's hard to calculate how valuable it is because of the

because the the first 20 hours of almost every discipline is probably the biggest most meaningful concepts from

that not being able to to ride a bike to being able to ride a bike.

Yes.

Being able to not read to read, even if you can't read Shakespeare, but you can read all of a sudden like 80%.

The world of Shakespeare is now opened up to you.

It's just a matter of time before you get there.

Yeah.

And even if you could never read Shakespeare, the 80% of the books

that you can read as a result of a sixth grade

reading level is basically more books than you have time to read.

And you will get the largest returns from those first 20 hours.

And so there's a very strong argument for trying to collapse the time between wanting something and beginning those first 20 hours.

And because the 80-20 of the skills you gain that have utility,

like that your usefulness across a huge amount of domains is multiplicative, not additive.

So I've said this example before, but like, you know, Jay-Z in the very beginning, it's like he might've had some rhythm or something.

And then all of a sudden he, you know, learned how to rap and then he learned how to sell.

Now, some people say maybe it was sold earlier than that, but I'll just leave it there.

He learned how to sell.

And then all of a sudden, he learned how to market.

And with each of these additional skills, his income didn't go up by like, oh, one plus one equals two.

It went, you know, one, well, one's a bad number.

So two to the 10th power all of a sudden becomes significantly greater than what you can do.

And so when unsure about what, like when you're not sure what to do,

build potential because when the opportunity does come, you want to be ready.

And so it does make sense in the beginning of your career to maximize optionality.

It's just that you have to be willing to trade it in.

And so when you're not sure what to do, the logical thing to do is I don't know what I'm going to do tomorrow, but I'm going to get a good night's sleep.

I don't know what I'm going to meet a mate, but I'm going to start getting in shape now.

I don't know what I'm going to sell, but I'm going to start building an audience and making content.

There's always an argument for, like, if you don't know what to do, there's still plenty of things to do.

But the goal is not necessarily to do those things forever, it's to do those things to then use them as the launch pad to get the thing you really want.

The trap is opening up so much optionality without the concordant decisiveness that you end up being trapped.

You end up being stuck because you think, I've got all of these directions that I could go in.

I've spent all of this time building up a panoply

of routes that I could take my life down

and I do not have any ability to decide on which of those to take.

Panoply.

You like that?

Myriad, cornucopia, a plethora.

Yeah.

Two people that are obsessed with language and have a war with each other.

but one is British, so he wins.

You only need to get rich once, so you might as well work as hard as you can to get it done as fast as you can.

The fastest way to attract what you want in life is to deserve it by doing

so much work it becomes unreasonable not to achieve it.

Do so much work it would be unreasonable that you fail.

The seat at the table is yours if you want it.

Do the hard work, build the skills no one can ignore, adjust your mindset to match where you want to go then pull up a chair

and sit down you want to work with such relentless obsession that

when people see you they're grateful they don't have to compete

against you the fastest shortcut is to stop looking for shortcuts do the work are those all mine all one

violence is the answer there's there's two there's two quotes on

the on the in the first few pages of our sales handbook internally at acquisition.com one is volume negates luck

and violence is the answer and i would say

that those are like credos that that the team lives by

and i think violent team they are um and violently successful um i think i think there's a lot of power in

in knowing that you're doing every single thing you possibly can to win

because if you are if you can look at yourself in the mirror

and say i have controlled the controllable i think there's some

entirely entirely the controllable not the uncontrollable those things can happen i could do my book launch

and there can be a lightning strike and there can me to power in Vegas.

That can happen.

But in the event that that happens, if you leave it all in the field, if you have nothing left in the tank,

I don't think there's a feeling that's more satisfying as a man than knowing

that you've given everything that you had to give to an endeavor that you deemed meaningful.

And so Layla and I have this thing that we say a lot, but a man must have a quest.

And I just really really like

that it's like you need to do something you need to go towards something

and your quest could be the best being the best father

it could be it could be being the best musician

or the best podcaster the best businessman

or the best tire replacer the best sweeper whatever it is but like i think i think being questless,

being aimless, and never being able to use the violence

that you are capable of in the pursuit of endeavor

that you find meaningful is where people find themselves lost and without hope.

Because hopelessness comes from a perceived lack of options.

We don't know what to do.

anxiety comes from many options, but no priorities.

And so there's many things to do, but we're not sure which one.

And so a quest remedies both of those, because you have one path that you're clear on.

And you know, the only thing

that you have left to do is destroy everything in your path to getting to where you want to go.

100

And I'm using strong language on purpose rather than saying

101

that you literally need to destroy everyone but more

102

so the ideas the thoughts the doubts the perceived risks

103

that aren't even really risks um those are the things

104

that we have to march triumphantly towards

105

and i think um having someone in your corner who believes in

106

that better version of you is one of the the rarest gifts that you can have in life

107

and there's a line from 300 that i love the queen says to leonidas she's she says um

108

come back with your shield or on it and i think

109

that we all want a spouse

110

or a partner who can who can reward us for the good fight

111

because what that queen is saying in

112

that moment is not like i want you to win she's like i want you to die trying

113

so and i think that that's that's like all we, I mean, to be fair, that's literally all we will do is die trying.

114

All of us will die trying.

115

And I think, um, well rather all of us will die.

116

Some of us will die trying.

117

And I think that's, that's about as good of a life as I think anyone can really ask for.

118

One of my least favorite groups of people are those without a quest mocking those who have one.

119

wastes of space.

120

It causes doubt.

121

This is another reason why the lonely chapter thing resonates so much

122

that people who are in it have their certainty about wanting

123

to get out of it diminished by people who can't see the fact that they're in it.

124

And you go, fuck, all of my friends are saying, why are you staying in?

125

Because you want to go to the gym in the morning.

126

What does it matter if you What does it matter if you miss your workout?

127

It doesn't matter if you miss your workout tomorrow, dude.

128

Go, no, I really, really want this thing.

129

And my wanting of this hard thing and the efforts

130

and sacrifices and trade-offs I'm having to make in order to get there, the doubt that already exists inside of me is being multiplied by people who are outside of it.

131

And if I could give everybody a gift, it would be the ability to turn down the volume on people who don't understand the goals that you're trying to achieve.

132

it shouldn't be your job to explain yourself to people who don't understand what you're trying to do

133

and the confusion of this person gets it and understands it and this person doesn't

134

you shouldn't be listening to them at equal measure

135

i have a lot of live translation

136

that i think um i've wired into being able to handle some things that were difficult,

137

which is like, I pretty much translate all hate into you live your life against my preferences.

138

And so whenever they're saying all of these things of like, no, you don't have to go to the gym.

139

We were doing this other thing.

140

It's just saying, you're living your life in a way that's against my preferences.

141

You're valuing things that I don't value.

142

And you're like, you're right.

143

And so it doesn't mean like, we don't need to have the same values, at least in the short term.

144

And I think just accepting that that is okay, and that you can still be friends, at least in the short term, is fine.

145

And what they're really trying to do is get you to comply with their way of living because maybe,

146

not always, when you live in accordance with your new values and new preferences,

147

it brings into sharp contrast how they are not living in accordance to theirs.

148

Before we continue, most people in their 30s are still training hard.

149

Their protein is dialed in.

150

They sleep better than they did in their 20s.

151

Discipline is not the issue, but recovery feels somewhat different.

152

Strength gains take a little longer.

153

The margin for error starts to shrink.

154

And that is why I'm such a huge fan of Timeline.

155

You see, mitochondria are the energy producers inside of your muscle cells.

156

As they weaken with age, your ability to generate power and recover effectively changes, even if your habits stay strong.

157

MitoPure from Timeline contains the only clinically validated form of urithulin A used in human trials.

158

It promotes mitophagy, which is your body's natural process for clearing out damaged mitochondria and renewing healthy ones.

159

In studies, this supported mitochondrial function and muscle strength in older adults.

160

It's not about pushing harder, it's about actually supporting the cellular machinery underneath your training.

161

If you care about staying strong into your 30s, 40s, and 50s and beyond, this is foundational.

162
